It provides a great look into how our ever increasing population will effect not only our space but our resources, and food supplies. It gives alternatives that are also currently being used in some places as a means of solving this problem.
Not only this but how populations that will exponentially grow in places such as sub Saharan Africa will play into water consumption as well. In addition the direct relation to how we have done a great job of modernizing the agricultural industry but can only take it so far is also discussed in the documentary.
The film does a great job of comparing and contrasting how we have been able to get through these things on a smaller scale so far while still showing the problems that will arise in the very near future that we will not be able to control once the issue has already set in if we do not begin to work on a plan right now.
Overall it is a great documentary that everyone should watch so that they can have a better understanding of how important our population growth is as well as how much resource management is going to play a role in our very near future. Details Edit. Release date December 9, United Kingdom.

If the permafrost of the frozen north melts, along with the Arctic sea ice and the Greenland icecap, there will be terrifying rises in sea levels. Great cities — Amsterdam, Venice, New York, King's Lynn — will disappear below the waves, and vast quantities of greenhouse gases, trapped under the ice, will be released.
As if that weren't bad enough, the dark ground revealed by the melt will then absorb the sunlight and further contribute to warming, so the whole process will accelerate. We're screwed, in other words. Armageddon, here we come. Got it? To be fair, I think most of us knew a good deal of that, but I suppose it can't harm to bang it home while there still is a home. Not just renewable-energy sources yeah, yeah, know it already , but storing carbon dioxide in sandstone beneath the Utah desert — that's pretty cool.
And growing artificial meat from cells in a laboratory. Heston Blumenthal's showing an interest in this. He's got a Christmas show next week; maybe he could do something with artificial turkey. But they'll need to get a move on with the science, because right now it doesn't look very appetising — more like something coughed up by a heavy smoker in the morning than meat. Best of all, though, are these brilliant new artificial trees.
Made of special plastic, they're actually better at absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than real trees. And, once captured, the CO 2 can then be released, maybe to be stored underground in Utah. They may not look like real trees, but that's not to say they don't have their own beauty: they look like giant bedside lights dotted across the countryside. Quite nice, I think.
I wonder what a woodpecker would think of them. And then we urinate out and put that into our processing system and we make it into drinkable water,. Within the next 20 years as much as half of the world's population will live in areas of water stress. Today he's heading for a poor district in the city's south-west, where he's a regular visitor. They are not transparent, and we are not certain that local communities will benefit from these investments.

So we know that there isn't a lot of extra land. This was discovered about 30 minutes outside of Houston on the Brookshire Dome. It smells great.
